There is a lot of Freeway noise at this campground - the most I've ever experienced. That being said, the sites along the creek are not so bad because the noise of the creek drowns out the freeway noise as well as any noise from other campers. Everything was clean and well kept. Very nice to have bear boxes. Hiking and biking right from the campground was great.

Beautiful spot. A bit of a walk (<5mim) from the lot to the site, but it's worth it. Tent pad, table, fire ring, and bear box were clean and in good working order.

Campsite was easily long enough for our 27' motor home but it was at a very severe angle. It did not feel safe for our rig and was not good for our propane cooled fridge.
Otherwise, the setting was very nice and private.

We had a great stay! Super location! Got in hiking as well. The hosts seem pretty new at the job. Pleasant but a little hovering
